DRC approves Coquina Key Plaza redevelopment
January 6, 2023 - This week, the St. Petersburg Development Review Commission approved Stoneweg's plans to redevelop to Coquina Key Plaza. The plans entail building 465 residential units with at least 20% dedicated for workforce housing to households earning 80-120% of the Area Median Income (AMI). The plans also entail constructing 20,817 square feet of commercial space. The applicant was requesting two design variances - to locate the buildings off the setback line and locate parking in-front of the commercial buildings. Many residents have opposed the project, largely regarding how the project will not be able to attract and accommodate a large grocer, which has been expressed as a dire need by the community. The city council approved the project last year.
